Genesis 4:25,26 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bore a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she... Genesis 5:3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth: Genesis 1:26,27 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea... Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. See the Annotations. CHRIST THE APEX OF THIS PYRAMID AND THE CROWN AND GLORY OF THE RACE. Are any of these worthies either the better or the worse for the high or low stations which they possessed in life?—Their fortunes are now determined:—Their love also, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. The age and pedigree of Jesus are recorded by the evangelist. There are others, of a more lively and active turn indeed than the former; yet they are as far from entertaining any pious and truly Christian sentiment, or doing any thing more agreeable to their holy calling: I mean those who are led away by their sensitive appetite, and who have a great alacrity in all brutish pleasures; pretenders to wit and humour, ridiculers of the preachers of righteousness, and far gone in those fashionable vices which erewhile caused the universal deluge. Yet there may be great usefulness where there is no renown; our names will perish when we cease to live, yet within the limits of our day, how much good may we do! (St. Ambrose). To shew this still more evidently, the evangelist had before introduced the Almighty speaking from heaven: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. The difficulty as to the dissimilarity of names will of course only affect the two steps of the genealogies at which they begin to diverge, before they again coalesce in the names of Shealtiel and of Joseph. It was a period probably, in which, As the Kingdom Comes Ethical Standards Must Advance Every approximation to the Reign of God in humanity demands an advance in the social relations of men, that is, an advance in ethics. No MAN STANDS ALONE. Hence He could die for all. Their family tree in one place covered a space of 2,000 years; in another of more than 4,000 years. BibliographyJ. 1801-1803. The sceptre was departed from Judah, and the prophesies of Daniel concerning him now required his coming; which made many turn their eyes to John, who appeared with marks of such singular distinction, and spoke with such authority and zeal, that they began to think that this might be the long-expected Messiah. At the same time he sees that he is the jest of fools, and scarcely pitied by the wise and good; the scorn and derision of all around him, and not so much as the favourite of himself. 38 3588 38 tou 38 τοῦ 38 - 38 Art-GMS: 1800 Enōs Ἐνὼς , of Enosh N-GMS: 3588 tou τοῦ - Art-GMS: 4589 Sēth Σὴθ , of Seth N-GMS: 3588 tou τοῦ - Art-GMS: 76 Adam Ἀδὰμ , of Adam N-GMS: 3588 tou τοῦ - Art-GMS: 2316 Theou Θεοῦ . The conclusion to which we are brought is that we have before us two such registers, one drawn from public, and the other from private sources; or, as is conjectured above, one from a civil genealogy, the other from writings laid up in the Temple. Luke does not add this, to prove that Jesus was the son of God. This is easily explained. Sig. Genesis 5:3 And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and begot a son to his own image and likeness, and called his name Seth. Which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God, As we glance through the list of names given in these chapters (Matthew 1:1-25. Thus, the genealogy of Jesus Christ includes all extremes and all vicissitudes, so that he is in very truth the Son of man. "Commentary on Luke 3:38". Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Dry as the long list of names in Luke may seem, it may truly be said that no passage of Scripture contains more of the essence of the gospel; Jesus is the true second Adam, because He is linked with the first; Jesus and Adam are the two heads of the human race, and they are both of them sons of God, Adam by creation, Jesus Christ by eternal generation; and so it may be said that the genealogical chain, by which Luke linked the first Adam and the second Adam together, is that chain upon which the redemption of mankind and all human hopes depend. Go to. 1. called, בן אלהים, "the son of God": though this may be understood of Jesus; the son of Joseph, of Heli, &c. and so on to this clause, "the son of God"; being so as a divine person, to whom the human nature was united, and on that account so called; see Luke 1:35 Thus, as Matthew gives us the regal line of Christ, showing him to be heir to the throne of his father David, Luke gives the natural line of Christ; and as Matthew traces his genealogy down from Abraham, in a descending line, to Joseph, the husband of Mary, the mother of Jesus, Luke traces it upwards, in an ascending line, from Mary by Joseph, even up to Adam; to whom the Messiah was first promised, and who was a type of the second Adam, from whom he descended, though not by ordinary generation; nay, even to God himself: Christ, according to his divine nature, was the only begotten of the Father; and as to his human nature, had a body prepared by him, and in the fulness of time was God manifest in the flesh. This is the whole history of his life and actions; and it is a picture of the generality of mankind, who think themselves of great consequence in the world. The origination of Jesus from God has some likeness to both, but yet far exceeds both; it is in some measure mediate, or coming through the intervention of the intermediate fathers, but is much rather immediate and direct, as He is the Son of God. To conclude. Genesis 5:1,2 This is the book of the generation of Adam. . Genesis 5:25-27. Oh! the son of Cainan, the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God. "The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge". Thus did St. Luke mean to refer the origin of Christ to God, of whom he was the true and eternal Son. https:https://www.studylight.org/commentaries/wen/luke-3.html.
